Root aphids might be steroid induced kill squads of fast death. . . . Thrips are like ass hemorrhoids you can't get rid of.

If you ever get rid of them let me know. I'm now chasing them off seedlings after chasing them off my vegging stuff after chasing them off flowering stuff.

Are thrips like mosquitos and if we removed them from the planet nothing would care?

Mites are the herp.
You may have them and not know it until you get an outbreak

I've done those twice. Sachets and a whole jar of them. Spinosad seems to be the only thing killing any of them for any duration of time. Tried hanging hotshots no pest strips, too. Those things don't seem to do shit to them. I think the environment isn't ideal for the beneficial mites. Oh and nematodes. Hoping to get the eggs/larva.

The problem with predatory mites is that they live in the soil and thrips do damage up on the leafs.
It's like a cane toad scenario lol.
I got rid of them with sulphur smoke bombs, 1 every 3 days x 3 to break/kill the egg larvae adult cycle.
a quick search...

Everything in nature has its place. People used to think honey bees were a nuisance.

There's various mite species that go up into foliage.
I've looked at sulphur. I might be remembering wrong but can that be used in tent with plants indoors? It's like a more powerful hotshot no pest strip right?

I've had good success with them myself.
They live on the foliage:

Neoseiulus cucumeris - Wikipedia

These work. $3 (CAD) a sachet at my local store, hang on plant, they will seek and destroy until they eventually cannibalize themselves.
I have used them several grows and they always get the job done. See the white bags hanging in my pic?

Cucumeris is the last one I tried. Might give the swirski a go.
